Enough about the damn typewriters/fonts already
The right brought this up -- is our response to let them control the dialogue? Blowing the TANG thing out of proportion will backfire. How many people are going to jump the Dubya wagon because he bailed on the National Guard thirty years ago?

How many outright, confirmable lies has Junior made in the past four years that should be pointed out and analyzed (ones that have a direct effect on the country's future)?

Sheesh.

(the pdf the analysis Mr. Lechliter, retired military--it's amazing)
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/opinion/lechliter.pdf

Summary

The following analysis of President Bush's (Bush) military records and the controlling legal authorities shows the following beyond any reasonable doubt:
* The pay records released by the White House this past winter prove Bush received unauthorized, i.e., fraudulent, payments for inactive duty training, even if he did show up for duty.
* The memorandum from Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Albert C. Lloyd, who affirmed for the White House that Bush met his retention/retirement year point requirement, is an obfuscation, or outright deception, that disregarded Bush's failure to meet the statutory and regulatory fiscal year satisfactory participation requirement.
* Bush's superiors in the Texas Air National Guard failed to take required regulatory actions when Bushed missed required training and failed to take his flight physical.
* Despite seemingly laudatory comments, Bush's May 1972 officer performance report was a clear and unmistakable indication that his performance had declined from the annual 1971 report. The report was the kiss of death before he left for Alabama that year.
* Bush did not meet the requirements for satisfactory participation from 1972 to 1973.

3. the idea is to drive the nails into the coffins of their myths ASAP
so we can move onto the issues.

This is the concept behind Rapid Response.... to avoid the errors of Dukasis' campaign: i.e. the belief that he didn't have to defend himself from the mudslinging, that if he kept talking issues the people would see through the mud. No, you have to counterattack swiftly with facts and so you can get back to the issues.
